my only gripe is that there's no 0w20 imported for shell pureplus

take note that even for our ambient temperature, mitsubishi does recommend 0w20 for the 4Bseries engine excluding 4B11T which is xw30 smile.gif

Mine is 4B11 using 5/40 all this while, so I'm glad to find them at this prices

I have decided, and bought the motul ATF 1A from zhapalang last weekend,  tongue.gif
Put it to my fren's Myvi, as a tester, notice less jumping when changing gear which is a good start I guess, knowing that there is still old ATF inside the torque converter.

Pricing wise, RM55 each, not including GST, if really will last longer than usual with same performance, quite reasonable I guess.

I don't really see the need to add in additives to GB if one regularly changes the oil every 20k km... I've done this to all my ride, no problem at all. Even add on transmission cooler

Was in Giant SALAM and came across this offer. Are they even genuine with such attractive price of $139? ๐Ÿค”

Off topic can both valve and fuel injector cleaner be used or poured into the tank same time? Or best done on each refill? Or both are a waste of money for an engine with more than 340k km

finally Giant listened. they started bringing in shell hx8 5w-30 SN/SN plus spec now!

although its Made in Malaysia. no untuk pasaran Malaysia in sight, so I'm guessing its for export. 5w-40 is still the usual imported version.

only thing right now is, its priced at rm128. will wait for discount but lately cheapest also about rm108 and i need to change my oil real soon.

no fake eo at Giant, Tesco, Aeon since 2011, especially the SHU 5w40 which I have used since then.

I trust giant, tesco, supermarkets etc.

My last Shell 5W30 EO purchased from giant supplied by a diff vendor, I used it together with liqui moly additive, has been really smooth and light โ€œfeelโ€. Since it was due for change I decided to buy Kixx 5W30 via Lzd instead albeit a bit expensive

no idea, u'll need to find out if they have any adverse issues being used together.

waste of time or not really depends on your perception/preference and what car you're driving. if you're on direct injection cars, your intake valves won't be cleaned. and being direct injection, their crazy high direct injectors are really sensitive and those cleaning chemicals might cause more harm than good.

example: the cleaner itself is safe, but upon cleaning and dislodging small/fine/micro dirt causing the direct injectors to clog up

Apparently claimed to be safe for used on direct injection engines ๐Ÿค”

Anyway will be using on 4B11 engine ๐Ÿ˜
